A woman came to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) and said, "O Allah's Messenger, I came to offer myself to you (in marriage)." Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) looked her up and down (carefully), and then Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) lowed his head. When the woman saw that he had not made any decision regarding her she sat down. A man of his companions then stood up and said, "O Allah's Messenger, if you have no need for her, marry her to me." He asked, "Do you have anything (to give her as dowry)?" He replied, "No, I swear by Allah, O Allah's Messenger." He thereupon said, "Go to your family and see if you can find something." He went and then returned and said, "No, I swear by Allah I found nothing." Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) then said, "Look for something, even if it should be an iron ring."
جاءت امرأة إلى رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم فقالت: يا رسول الله جئت أهب لك نفسي فنظر إليها رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم فصعد النظر فيها وصوبه ثم طأطأ رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم رأسه فلما رأت المرأة أنه لم يقض فيها شيئا جلست فقام رجل من أصحابه فقال: يا رسول الله إن لم يكن لك بها حاجة فزوجنيها فقال: فهل عندك من شيء؟ فقال: لا والله يا رسول الله فقال: اذهب إلى أهلك فانظر هل تجد شيئا فذهب ثم رجع فقال: لا والله ما وجدت شيئا فقال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم: انظر ولو خاتم من حديد ...The Shaykh : Or?

The reader:
He went and returned and said: No, by Allah, not even an iron ring, but only this lower garment of mine (Sahl said that he had no upper garment), half of which (I am prepared to part with) for her. Thereupon Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said: How can your lower garment serve your purpose, for it you wear it, she would not be able to make any use of it and if she wears it there would not be anything on you? The man sat down and as the sitting prolonged he stood up (in disappointment) and as he was going back Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) commanded (him) to be called back, and as he came, he said to him: Do you know any part of the Qur'an? He said: I know such and such surahs (and he counted them), whereupon he (ﷺ) said: Can you recite them from heart (from your memory)? He said: Yes, whereupon he (Allah's Messenger) said: Go, I have given her to you in marriage for the part of the Qur'an which you know.
فذهب ثم رجع فقال: لا والله يا رسول الله ولا خاتم من حديد ولكن هذا إزاري، قال سهل: ماله رداء فلها نصفه فقال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم: ما تصنع بإزارك إن لبسته لم يكن عليها منه شيء وإن لبسته لم يكن عليك منه شيء، فجلس الرجل حتى إذا طال مجلسه قام فرآه رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم موليا فأمر به فدعي فلما جاء قال: ماذا معك من القرآن؟ قال: معي سورة كذا وسورة كذا عددها، فقال: تقرؤهن عن ظهر قلب؟ قال: نعم، قال: اذهب فقد ملكتها بما معك من القرآنThe Shaykh : So what?
The reciter: So you were given her in marriage.
